JUAN PABLO DUARTE AND TEN FOUNDER OF THE DOMINICAN NATIONALITY.
Quisqueyanos valientes, alcemosNuestro canto con viva emoción,Y del mundo a la faz ostentemosNuestro invicto glorioso pendón.
~¡Salve el pueblo que intrépido y fuerte,
A la guerra a morir se lanzóCuando en bélico reto de muerteSus cadenas de esclavo rompió.
~Ningún pueblo ser libre mereceSi es esclavo indolente y servil;Si en su pecho la llama no crece
Que templó el heroísmo viril. ~
Mas Quisqueya la indómita y bravaSiempre altiva la frente alzará:Que si fuere mil veces esclavaOtras tantas ser libre sabrá.
